Pros

The main company headquarter is moving from Waltham to Boston, which will be better for the majority of employees.

Cons

Work is tedious and has little actual impact on clients' business. Pay is low and does not justify the hours. Data analytic techniques are very low level and will not be able to compete in the future market research market.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good amount of training provided in-house and great exposure to several different research methodologies. Good way to build a foundation in market research, looks great on a resume. Co-workers for the most part are wonderful and easy to work with. Nice amount of vacation days.

Cons

Promotions are extremely political. Better hope you land on the 'right' team. More often than not its members of a specific team that are the ones getting promoted while others who aren't as fortunate to be with the 'in-crowd' are continuously passed up for promotions over and over despite excellent work. Buddying up to the right senior leader will get you much further than quality work - favoritism at it's finest.
